%0 Report %D 2017 %T How job changes affect retirement timing by socioeconomic status %A Geoffrey T. Sanzenbacher %A Sass, Steven A. %A Gillis, Christopher M. %K job changes %K Retirement %K socioeconomic status %X The brief’s key findings are: Workers in their 50s today, compared to previous generations, are more likely to switch jobs voluntarily. The question is whether such job changes lengthen or shorten a worker’s career. The results suggest that job changes lengthen careers: those who switch jobs are much more likely to still be in the labor force at age 65 than those who stay put. This effect is somewhat larger for better-educated workers than for less-educated workers. %B Center for Retirement Research at Boston College Briefs %I Center for Retirement Research at Boston College %C Boston %G eng %U https://crr.bc.edu/briefs/how-job-changes-affect-retirement-timing-by-socioeconomic-status/
